Quest Related Events[edit]

Outside of the quest, she'll say:

"You know, I didn't choose a life of seclusion in order to chat with strangers. If you have no business with me, best be off."

The Perils of Art[edit]

"If you've come to rob me, I'm afraid I have little of value. I can help if you've a high fever or nervous stomach, but I have no need for gold these days."
Why would you think I'm here to rob you?
"Healthy paranoia, I suppose.
There's plenty of questionable characters out here, but I prefer it to the crowded cities. Too many mer going on about their appearance, or their status, or their career. I'm done with such trivialities."
Tindoria sent me. I'm here to purchase your rare dye.
"It's been a long time since my former student has contacted me, and now she makes such demands? How quickly she forgets who trained her to hold a paintbrush.
I have no need for gold. You can tell her that upon your empty-handed return."
Actually, she gave me this tea. Is this an acceptable trade?
"This is—Yokudan Blue Tea? I thought it lost forever! The last shipment was said to have sunk to the bottom of the Abecean Sea. Oh, she's still clever, isn't she? Her and Vaerelel always were.
Very well, take my mixture. It's a good trade."
So, Tindoria was your student?
"Yes, back when I had the inclination to bother with such upstarts. I thought that would be my legacy, to train great artists who would blossom under a careful eye.
Sadly, all they did was rot in their own hubris."
What do you mean?
"The life of a Summerset artist is not easy. It's not enough to be merely great. You have to be better. Both Tindoria and Vaeralel wilted under that pressure.
I blame myself for agreeing to tutor them together."
Can you tell me about Tindoria and Vaerelel's relationship?
"Their rivalry seemed harmless at first, even friendly. Just something to keep them motivated.
But, as it tends to be, one of them was always a step ahead. Soon any praise I had for one would pierce the pride of the other."
And now?
"And now they've both grown bitter and endlessly jealous of the others success. They believe Summerset only has room for one great artist. Such foolishness.
Honestly, it was their squabbling that led me to stop taking students."
"It seems that Tindoria has certainly gotten what she's always wished for. After all, she must have accumulated quite the influence to have acquired this tea.
If only she put as much commitment into her art as her status, she might truly be great."

After the quest:

"Even in the middle of a forest, I still manage to hear about Tindoria and Vaerelel's little tiffs. And no, I don't want to hear about whatever silly thing happened. I moved here to get away from such nonsense."
